CRYSTALLION lyrics : "The Battle... Onward"

Guy of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem
Out of Sephoria
On July 3rd we are

The vanguard glorious
Our rearguard pray for us
We will reach Tiberias

Nine more painful miles, alas!

The Christian army

We will prevail (onward we go!!!)
Our glorious king we hail
Onward! The battlefield

Shall be our grave

Count Raymond III. of Tripoli

Our kingdom soon will fade
They say no man ever made
Such a distance in one day

Saladin is drawing near
Muslim warcries we can hear
Christian knights must show no fear


Gerard of Ridefort, Grandmaster of the Knights Templar
Till our last breath we march

The slaughter can begin
For our kingdom and for our king
Into battle our old hymns we sing

By the hawks, our infantry's pride
All for one and one for all!


Count Raymond III. of Tripoli
Our kingdom soon will fade
They say no man ever made

Such a distance in one day
Saladin is drawing near
Muslim warcries we can hear

Christian knights must show no fear

Guy of Lusignan, King of Jerusalem

The time is near, it's crystal clear
No-one give in, no man we fear
Its time to fight, before the night

Will lay its coat upon this field

Count Raymond III. of Tripoli

Marching - Marching till the end of time
Can it be God's will?
Will we be burning for a senseless crime

Some wounds time won't heal

Chorus


"Saladin was watching every move the Crusaders made and realized that their decision to start heading for Tiberias after an already exhausting march over several miles could give his army the crucial edge which could determine the outcome of the battle.
Vested with their firm belief the Muslim forces tightend the noose around the Christians' necks."
